Im getting a magazine subscription fr my birthday and I was wondering which publications other gamers felt were the best.

Personally, I've always been fond of Game Informer, but I havent really looked at other magazines. I also looked at Play, and while I think the layout is excellent they really burned me on Turok when I bought the magazine about a year ago.

I have most major consoles so if you have any console specific reccomendations I would be interested to know.

Thanks

Well it depends what platform you are partial too!

But Gameinformer is great! Its probably the least biased.

If youre into the 360 more, than go with OXM.

Also, EGM used to be my favorite... but sadly they stopped making their magazine. I truly miss them :cry:

I used to have Gameinformer for years. I have a bunch of old issues of when Halo 2 was just announced and what not in a box in the garage.

I kinda stopped caring and just go to game sites every once in a while to get my information.

I've been getting Game Informer for a while, and I like it. Before that was EGM and GMR, but neither one of those are options...

EGM They recently stopped printing their magazine, so to finish my subscription they sent me two copies of Maxim. But seriously, the best gaming magazine I've ever read was old school PSM. Hilarious stuff.

My dad use to recieve Game Informer & I loved reading that magazine. In my opinion, that's definitley one of the best gaming magazines out there. But if you want free goodies & demos, then go with an official magazine for your favorite console. But if you don't care that much about free goodies, then I'd go with Game Informer.

If you love Nintendo, Nintendo Power is probably all you need. There's also Gamepro, but they suck.

You didn't know that? That happened months ago. How did you not know that, especially when you say that you loved it?

Heavily depends on platform and even more on living area.

If you just so happen to live in the Benelux get Power Unlimited.
